well the point that leads me to agree with streakeagle and say that it is a step down is payload. in particular air to air cause it will have to carry some of that load with only 187 Raptors and likely further early retirement amongst the Eagle and Viper force to pay for this new capabilities. Sure the F-22/F-35 combo will see further and hit what it sees. but doctrine is gonna be to go in stealthy and that means internal. which means not as many rounds to shoot at the enemy. now we program our Aggressor Vipers to simulate threat aircraft and emissions for training. other nations regularly upgrade their older aircraft with new avionics and ability to carry new weapons. what is stopping some bright light in a threat air force from programming an emmitter to make a Mig-21 look like a Flanker? then when we call Fox 3 and expend all the AAMs on that sortie the real flankers come in and chase our guys out of the area. when we go back with external ordanance mounted we are now not as stealthy as we trained to fight. JSF Aggie could prob answer the question better but are we regularily training to fight with external loads and how much A2A ordinance can it carry all up in a useful CAP or Escort mission? hey i'm not sayin lay waste to the area like Ahnold with the minigun in Terminator 2. buuuuuut as Patton said.... wars arent won by dying for your country. they are won by makin some other poor sonuvabitch die for his. i really dont mean to bad mouth the F-35, i just dont like the perpetually smaller sums that the math shows for our side.

can we drop candy? i am friggin sure if we can mod an airdroppable crapper in this game we can can mod chute stabilized candy!!!

ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo........aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah is it two weeks yet?

i did try it a cuple of weeks ago, but my screwy compaq laptop likes your first update better than the enhanced. it actually runs at 9-10graphic/30-40fps game (yes for me thats good)with that one but the enhanced slows me down. nothing on your mods, just the computer i have to live with for at least another year. tho backed up, i will wait for tech advice before proceeding. and try not to take off from that base again as evidently the ground crews cant be bothered with the upkeep of the base!

File Name: NATO Trainer Cargo Aircraft CT-49A File Submitter: daddyairplanes File Submitted: 16 July 2011 File Category: Other This is the NATO E-3 Components TCA,(USAF designated CT-49A) based on the 707-320. These aircraft are use for pilot training of the E-3 Component and for cargo and troop transport as needed. Three are operated by NATO and a total of 5 have ever flown under NATO colors. This mod includes a touch up of the OTAN skin found in the TMF E-3A release and decals for all 5 TCA's ever registered in Luxemborg. It also includes the Sentry cockpit to make it flyable, or if you have the 707-300 already you can drop the CT-49 skin in and it will work as well. I hope you enjoy!

you sir are never lacking for imagination!

well instead of opening a new thread i will save valuable internet space and ask this how do i fix this sir? taken from your GermanyCE trees building and TODs update. i do freakin love that mod(best terrain and seasons with out slowin my laptop down at all) and like th idea of trees around airbases but on the runway is a bit much,

no teras i think the Iowa was pissed. my wingman ate a tomahawk early on. the readme did say it will fire them as SAMs!!!!

well we are all anxious for any news on it. for sure it will be a seperate install all to its self not something to be added to the mods folder and forgotten. also the aircraft that could spawn from it makes an impressive list. French based A-26s in Light Bomb Wings, 36 FG F-80Cs, EF-10Bs for Vietnam and on and on...... If you guys have a C-54 hiding in there i will crap myself!

finally got around to putting the Iowas in game... things freakin huge threw everything at it including my AA-2's and after some of the best accurate shooting in a Russian jet, the bastard stil shot 3 tomahawks at me!

jehovah!

one arguement for the step down crazyhorse... less rounds. it runs off the premise that it needs less munitions because what it uses will be more accurately placed. kinda suck tho if say we go up against the chinese and their first aerial wave is old mig-21s to get us to shoot our missles then send the J-20s. those air forces with red stars have a funny tendency not to get rid of stuff....

i am curious what the latest if anything is up with the NF series. i know that the may patch brought signifigant enough changes that a new patch will have to be released for it. my question is not how long(two weeks duh ) but what has to be done get it back up? also are the any prospects for an NF5? esp say a Northern or Southern Flank actions that could legitimately bring in other nations (Greece, Turkey, USN and USMC) with out much elaboration or cover story( see they were there for TLP and.....) i know ther are many other projects in the works out there but at least for the current NF4+ we(ok at least me) are curious what remains to be done.

very true. however will it only be iceland or will greenland and the northern UK also be there? tho it would be nice for a red storm rising scenario, would be a pain for where to base red air if it was iceland only.

july didn't do much except that loadouts can now be customized by year..... and the _78 Phantoms can carry the ALQ-131 series now. if your not running a stock Phantom you need to up the wieght limit on Sparrow station 1 to 300. not hat i'm a Phanatic or anything

maybe TK will give Dave his pony finally! oh damn you wanted real guesses. fine i maintain .....multiplayer.

i keep tellin you Tomcat will come out when i am travelling to get to where i am deploying to! although it may violate important OPSEC guidelines i will even tell you when that is if asked.

no worries was just trying to get it back on track! as for the fading i know the solution to it, though i think your latest enhanced tileset would kickass in it in either fashion. eburger thank you for the squadron list. i sent ya a pm with a few questions on it. as for future speculation i was pointing out that so far the franchise is concentrated on Central Europe. since i dont think it would have been a red storm rising type war why not use antonlia or north cape for other fronts of the war. finally tho this is a more joking suggestion, there is a NATO skin available for the E-3 now, might hafta put NATO as a nation and add the E-3 Component out of Geilkirchen

1. it is my firm belief that TK does this and then reads our reactions to it. why i dunno cuase we still aint gettin our way! 2. what if it was multiplayer? there is a true false line for it in the options.ini..........

sorry i forgot. he also drinks diet coke from a can thru a straw!

hitler drives a Prius???

the cynical side of me says unlocking fading. you can pay 1.99 to add this...... oh wait theres an ini edit for that already isnt there

1 all you have to do is remove the cockpitdata line from the aircrafts main ini(Mig29.ini). 2 but why would you want to? it is a bit fun and challenging to fly for the ted side once in a while. it will still generate as an enemy aircraft in game, tho not as often as stock planes. 3 much as it pains me to admit it a Phantom would get slapped around in a dogfight with a Fulcum. if you really know how to fly the Phantom and the Fulcrum pilots havin an off day maybe but..... in the BVR realm the only way would be the German F-4F ICE upgrade that uses Amraam. but even then after shootin they gotta get outta there as the survivors will be pissed.

in the mig 29's data ini there is a line right near the top that says nationname= . it should be listed to a known enemy nation for it to be an enemy such as Soviet or NVietnam. In the nationslist.ini each nation will be listed as friendly or enemy, you should not need to change that unless you want to make the US and Cuba friends or something similar! friendly or enemy does not make it flyable however.... it is the cockpit or lack of one that determines flyablity!
